February 08 Minutes:

• Ironman
Last year's benefit check was $2500 ($900 for water safety; the rest from water and first aid booths). Todd S. said we should expect to be contacted again this year and may try to renegotiate award for water
safety portion.

• Gravel for Plum
Darrin will check on status of gravel and said he would take action on it this before next meeting.

• Club paying for camping
It was decided that we would not pay for camping for all trips. Instead, we would decide on a case by case basis. That being said, it was decided that the club would pay for Burnwood camping on July 4 trip as well as clinic & club trip camping.

• Motion was made, and second, to pay for Shawnee pool roll sessions.

• Swiftwater Rescue classes
Discussion will be tabled for a future meeting. Todd S. has not gotten any responses yet from those he contacted; will look into it more. Discussed possibly joining with BWA's efforts to schedule a SWR class.

• Elkhorn putin
Deferring to Nathan of KOC on course of action.

• Viking of the Year Award
Darrin made a suggestion to sponsor an award to club member who goes out of way to contribute to club. No decision yet as to what benefit would be given.

Saturday May 10th at 8:00 a.m.

Short meeting at launch site before clean-up begins. Waivers will need to be signed before the event and all participants need to sign up at least one week before clean-up; the earlier the better. This is necessary so that proper planning can be accomplished including the number of boats needed and food can be prepared.

Free canoes will be provided by Canoe Kentucky with a wrap up party to follow at Canoe Kentucky.

It's almost time once again for the annual club dinner meeting. This is when most members renew their membership to the Viking Canoe Club. There will be raffles and a silent auction for whitewater gear and a contest for best dishes. Don't miss it!
